My son and I just saw the new Star Trek film yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. As a long time Trekkie my expectations for the performance of the new cast were somewhat low. I'm happy to say just how wrong my assumptions were. My son, who knows very little about Star Trek said he very much enjoyed the movie. He hates science fiction in general describing it as "lame". And I, the 50 something Trekkie liked it very much because it did manage to fit the Star Trek genre incredibly well despite the many differences with past movies.

We watched Star Trek in a new digital theater (TI DLP projectors) in Missoula, MT (of all places!) and both the picture and the sound were simply extraordinary. The sound of the starships going to warp was like cannons!
